Russian strike kills five, including toddler, hours after Trump calls Putin
At least five people, including a one-year-old child, were killed in a Russian drone strike on the northern Ukrainian city of Pryluky overnight, regional governor Viacheslav Chaus said. The attack came just hours after US President Donald Trump spoke to Russian President Vladimir Putin. According to Mr Trump, Mr Putin 'very strongly' said that Russia will retaliate for Ukraine's weekend drone attacks on Russian military airfields. Six more people were wounded in the attack and are being treated in hospital, Mr Chaus said. According to him, six Shahed-type drones struck residential areas of Pryluky early on Thursday morning, causing severe damage to residential buildings. Hours later, 17 people were wounded in a Russian drone strike on the eastern Ukrainian city of Kharkiv early on Thursday, including children, a pregnant woman, and a 93-year-old woman, regional head Oleh Syniehubov wrote on Telegram. At around 1.05am, Shahed-type drones struck two apartment buildings in the city's Slobidskyi district, causing fires and destroying several private vehicles. 'By launching attacks while people sleep in their homes, the enemy once again confirms its tactic of insidious terror,' Mr Syniehubov wrote on Telegram.

Trump admin live updates: Trump signs proclamation banning travel from 12 countries
The president cited national security concerns for enacting the ban. President Donald Trump on Wednesday will meet with a group of Senate Republicans as he pushes lawmakers to pass his "One Big Beautiful Bill Act." The sweeping immigration and tax bill faces pushback from some GOP members over concerns about growing the national debt and changes to Medicaid. It's also receiving heavy criticism from Elon Musk, who called it an "abomination." Meanwhile, Trump's higher steel and aluminum tariffs went into effect earlier Wednesday, doubling from 25% to 50%.

Jun 04, 2025, 10:23 PM EDT Trump blocks foreign students from entering US to attend Harvard In the latest escalation of the White House's fight with Harvard University, President Donald Trump signed a proclamation Wednesday blocking foreign students from entering the U.S. to attend the school. Trump invoked the Immigration and Nationality Act to prohibit the entry of noncitizens from entering the U.S. to study at Harvard for at least six months, arguing the institution is "no longer a trustworthy steward" of international students. The proclamation also directed the secretary of state to consider revoking the visas of foreign students already in the U.S. to study at Harvard. "I have determined that the entry of the class of foreign nationals described above is detrimental to the interests of the United States because, in my judgment, Harvard's conduct has rendered it an unsuitable destination for foreign students and researchers," the proclamation said. Last month, the Department of Homeland Security tried to revoke Harvard's Student and Exchange Visitor Program last month -- which allows the school to sponsor foreign students – a federal judge issued a temporary order blocking the move. Trump justified the sudden move Wednesday by claiming Harvard has refused to provide information about international students, has "extensive entanglements with foreign countries," and has discriminated in their admissions practices. The proclamation also noted that crime rates have "drastically risen" at the school and requires the government to probe the potential misconduct of foreign students. "These concerns have compelled the Federal Government to conclude that Harvard University is no longer a trustworthy steward of international student and exchange visitor programs," the proclamation said. Trump admin loses bid to continue dismantling the Dept. of Education A federal appeals court on Wednesday denied a request from President Donald Trump's administration to lift a lower court's order that blocked the president's efforts to allegedly dismantle the Department of Education. A three-judge panel on the First Circuit Court of Appeals found 'no basis on which to conclude' a federal judge erred when he issued a preliminary injunction last month blocking the effort to lay off half of the Department of Education's employees. 'What is at stake in this case, the District Court found, was whether a nearly half-century-old cabinet department would be permitted to carry out its statutorily assigned functions or prevented from doing so by a mass termination of employees aimed at implementing the effective closure of that department,' the judges wrote in the order. The court said there is 'no force' to the Trump administration's contention that the lower court's order would cause them any irreparable injury by "undermining implementation of an important presidential policy." Next stop, the United States Supreme Court. -ABC News' Peter Charalambous President Donald Trump has ordered Attorney General Pam Bondi to investigate whether former President Joe Biden's administration sought to conspire to cover up his mental state while in office. This represents a significant escalation from the White House as it is a directive to the Justice Department to formally investigate. It goes beyond the review into Biden's last-minute pardons before leaving office Jun 04, 2025, 8:04 PM EDT Trump signs proclamation banning travel from 12 countries President Donald Trump signed a proclamation on Wednesday banning travel from 12 countries, citing national security concerns. The administration is imposing full restrictions on entry into the United States from nationals of Afghanistan, Burma, Chad, the Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen. Additionally, Trump is imposing partial restrictions on entry from nationals of seven other countries: Burundi, Cuba, Laos, Sierra Leone, Togo, Turkmenistan and Venezuela. "As President, I must act to protect the national security and national interest of the United States and its people. I remain committed to engaging with those countries willing to cooperate to improve information-sharing and identity-management procedures, and to address both terrorism-related and public-safety risks," Trump wrote. -ABC News' Kelsey Walsh

Readers sound off on teaching trades, the Boulder attack and Charles Rangel
Manhattan: If President Trump wants to 'Make America Great Again,' he should do the following: Build a 'big, beautiful' trade school in the Bronx, Queens or Brooklyn. Call it the Trump Vocational High School for the Trades and make it a private school. Any graduate from a middle school can apply to the lottery for admittance. The cost should be $60,000 a year. The beautiful upper-class child will pay that. Beautiful children with little family money will be offered a scholarship based on need. This is not affirmative action, which is now illegal. This beautiful private high school with Trump's blessing would teach all the trades and have all the equipment to do it. It would be state-of-the-art and would cost a lot of money to operate, but it would be worth it. The cost of prosecuting and incarcerating each criminal in New York is more than $500,000 a year. One in four Black children born in the U.S. will face time in jail, and one in six Hispanic children will. I am willing to bet that a student entering this school will not commit any crime. They will thrive, prosper and learn a trade that will keep them out of harm's way for the rest of their lives. I don't have to list all the trades, like electrical, construction, masonry, woodworking, plumbing, car mechanics, cooking etc. The school should also offer classes in the arts, which will probably develop more character in each student. It should not involve memorizing facts, but focus on exploring the beauty of art, music, theater, dance, science and nature. What better place than NYC to explore this? Leonard Smoke Manhattan: With business slow because of a decline in tourism, dishwashers and busboys not showing up for work due to fear of ICE agent raids, combined with increased prices of supplies due to tariffs, I am not sure how much longer I can keep my restaurant going during Trump's 'Make America Great Again' administration. Mahatma Kane Jeeves Henderson, Nev.: Even after being found at fault, I'm surprised that Rep. Maxine Waters' campaign committee has agreed to pay $68,000 for campaign violations. I'm surprised, mainly because whenever Trump does something she doesn't agree with, she's always among the first to say nasty things about him. Maybe now people will start to realize that Maxine is hardly an angel. David Tulanian Lynchburg, Tenn.: It seems like the pro-Trumpers can never let Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden enjoy their retirements, as witnessed by their endless disparaging of Clinton and Biden to distract Americans from the complete and utter disaster the second Trump administration has become. From Voicer Jim Newton, everyone is reminded about the alleged 'cover-up' of Biden's mental health and 'Hillary Clinton's Benghazi mess,' which resulted in the deaths of four Americans. Mental decline and needless deaths of Americans are politically acceptable as long as they are on full public display from a president whose political ideology aligns with yours — for example, Trump's incoherent, rambling, ludicrous efforts during his first term to hoodwink the American public into believing that COVID would miraculously disappear while refrigerator trucks had to be used in hospital parking lots to store the thousands of corpses funeral homes could not accommodate on a daily basis. Godfrey Daniel Jr. Bronx: Trump is blaming Biden's open borders for the attack on the people in Boulder, Colo., but according to Trump, Biden was executed in 2020. How can a dead man be blamed? Richie Nagan Bedford, N.Y.: Re 'Colo. fiend wanted to 'kill Zionists' ' (June 3): Violence against any peaceful protest should always be condemned. However, the media is ignoring the reason for the rising antisemitism in the U.S. and throughout the world. While Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has failed to find and rescue all the Oct. 7 hostages, he has managed the slaughter of 70,000 people, including 17,000 babies and children, some burned alive in hospitals, press tents, in vans transporting humanitarian aid or in emergency food distribution areas 'strategically' designated by the Israeli government. Netanyahu and his disproportionate response to the Hamas attack are responsible for making Israel the world's pariah, and has made innocent Jews the target of hatred and violence. This will not end until Netanyahu ceases his war on children and is tried and convicted for war crimes. Céline Secada Fort Lauderdale, Fla.: As antisemitism is growing globally, here at home it is growing daily. Are people aligning themselves with Hitler's antisemitic objectives through the process of elimination, or do they detest the Jewish state of Israel so deeply that they shoot and kill any Jew randomly just to satisfy the hate they carry inside? The Nazi extermination plan was a complete failure! Every innocent Jew was killed in vain because of antisemitic beliefs, just as innocent Jews are being struck down today for those same beliefs. It proved nothing then and it proves nothing now because the Jew was never the enemy in the first place. The real enemy is the hate that lives within one's thoughts. Roberta Chaleff Canton, N.Y.: The Daily News seems mystified as to why anti-Jewish sentiment is on the rise. It's of course obvious to anyone who isn't deeply compromised by AIPAC and Israel's lobbyists. When we wake up daily for months to the news that Israel has killed more Palestinian refugees — people driven from their homeland decades ago by Zionist settlers — with American-made weapons, it should be obvious. Greg Todd Peters Township, Pa.: It is ironic and tragic that as he welcomes white immigrants who claim to have been persecuted in South Africa, our dictator president has slammed the door on those hailing from other countries, including Haiti, Cuba, Venezuela, Nicaragua and Afghanistan. People being readied for deportation include those who've been here legally under humanitarian provisions, those who've been promised resettlement here and those who risked their lives to aid our ill-fated occupation of Afghanistan. Many face persecution, arrest, torture, and/or death if they're forced to return to their home countries. An administration that has turned its back on human rights could not care less. The word of the U.S. is no longer its bond. The new Trump America is a cold and cruel place that seeks to purge our country of immigrants of color, bully the rest of the free world into submission and believes the U.S. can exist and thrive with no alliances. Oren Spiegler Lynbrook, L.I.: I read the article by Leonard Greene highlighting the accomplishments of Charles Rangel ('Young lion to political giant,' column, June 1), however, two important pieces were missing. Rangel was able to get apartments that he was well-qualified for that were probably intended for those who had limited resources who needed a decent place to live with their family. How did the former congressman qualify? He didn't need affordable housing (my opinion). In 1972, Patrolman Phil Cardillo was shot (later died). Rangel was able to go to the crime scene and told the NYPD that he would bring those responsible to the 28th Precinct the next day. That never happened. Why? We'll never know, but we can think he should have never been able to use his status to interfere with an active police investigation. Rangel should have been arrested and charged with interfering with the arrest of those involved. Larry Lombardo Brooklyn: June 3 marked the 100th birthday of the beloved actor Tony Curtis. He worked in films as real-life people: David O. Selznick, the Great Imposter, Sam Giancana, Lepke, the Boston Strangler, Houdini and Ira Hayes, the Marine who planted the flag on Iwo Jima. Curtis worked in films with Cary Grant, Gregory Peck, Henry Fonda, Dean Martin, Kirk Douglas, Sidney Poitier, Ernest Borgnine, Yul Brynner, Frank Sinatra, Burt Lancaster, Jack Lemmon, Laurence Olivier and Jerry Lewis. His leading ladies were Janet Leigh, Marilyn Monroe, Debbie Reynolds and Natalie Wood. Curtis never shot a boring scene. Mike Getz
